In use maps have a very tough life so you will appreciate our specialist concertina map fold that allows you to quickly open the map, and more importantly fold it back up to its pocket size after use. Paper maps will always suffer from the repeated unfolding, folding to the section you want to use, and then refolding. We recommend everybody to obtain our Super-Durable editions printed with 100% oxygenation inks on Polyart by the UK's leading map printer, which produces a map that feels like silk but will stand up to the roughest treatment of outdoor adventuring and yet fold up like new at the end of your adventure. Tour & Trail Super-Durable Maps are more expensive than paper maps, but represent better value as they produce a lightweight map that feels like silk while being both water-proof and incredibly tough so that after even the toughest of adventures your Tour & Trail Super-Durable Map will fold up like new. Digital editions of Madeira Tour & Trail Map for phone apps and Garmin users are available on the dwgwalking website.
